This afternoon, I met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and again made the case for fair and proper funding for our public services. Our public sector workers deserve fair pay for the vital work they do, and people deserve services that are properly funded to meet their needs. I will continue to stand up for workers, families, and public services, and work together with all parties to bring about positive change in people’s lives.

Delighted to meet with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer today at the @BICSecretariat. He and I agreed at our meetings in Chequers and Farmleigh this year that our attendance would send a clear signal from Taoiseach and Prime Minister of the reset of British and Irish relations.

Sue Gray will not take up her post as the prime minister's envoy to the nations and regions. She was initially appointed to the newly-created role after departing as Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff last month, saying she "risked becoming a distraction". bbc.com/news/articles/…
